Avro serialized binary data has been binary compatible since 1.0. A change in binary format would require changing the version to 2.0 or above by Avro's versioning policy. The Avro data file format has been stable since 1.3.0, but there have been some feature additions (for example compression codecs) and a few minor bugs since then in some languages.
